Ludlow Lions
Probably about a year and a half ago, I went through Myspace looking for new bands. Of course, I started this search by going through the Myspace friends of bands I already loved. I came across Ludlow Lions. After basically trumping them as God’s New York City gift to music to anyone who would listen, I moved past the handful of songs on their Myspace. After writing a strong review about...

"Nicest Things" by Kate Nash
“I wish I was your favorite girl I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world I wish my smile was your favorite kind of smile I wish the way that I dressed was your favorite kind of style I wish you couldn’t figure me out But you always wanna know what I was about I wish you’d hold my hand when I was upset I wish you’d never forget the look on my face when we...

Health Care Debate
When it comes down to it, it shouldn’t matter whether people might get the idea that abortion is okay because you didn’t state it wasn’t, whether your 13 times great grand children will be in debt versus your 14 times great grand children or how you feel about Obama. All that really matters is that in the ‘best’ country in the world, more people die of preventable...

Music
I miss music. To some extent, that sounds like such an odd thing to say. I have music around me every single day: on the bus to and from work, when I get home, etc. But not how I used to. I used to liv music. I used to wake up to music, listen to it until I needed to leave for work, listen to it on the way to work in the music industry, listen to it at work, listen to it on the way home from work...

Radiohead
I forget sometimes how much I love In Rainbows by Radiohead. Easily one of my favorite albums. I’m so glad that I got the chance to see them live at All Points West last year.

Book Recommendation: Spinoza's Ethics
While I haven’t picked this book up in awhile, I’d still name it a favorite. I picked up my copy from a class I took my last semester in college and every single page is littered with text and underlines. The spine is broken and pages are falling out. When I took that class, I knew I’d like Spinoza (as a philosophy major). I never knew how much. For anyone interested in nature,...

Ten Minute Meal: Lazy-Fried Roast Over Penne
Rachel Ray has the market covered on 30 Minute Meals. But who has 30 Minutes to cook? Between getting home from work, doing the dishes and other chores and just trying to breathe…time flies. Plus, who wantst to work all day and spend half an hour of free time just to make dinner? And if you’ve ever come home, cooked and then been hungry…you know what it’s like to hate...
